Methodology

Simply put, we offer a wider range of statistically representative sources than traditional market research contains.

On top of classic qualitative and quantitative survey data, we add a layer of perception data, derived from social listening and media, to reduce bias in our insights. Furthermore, we run correlations on what people say with what they actually do by examining searches online and similar web. We call this layer behavioural data. The icing on the cake; we tie everything together by comparing the customer data with macro data, from a big data perspective, in order to get the full picture.

In our daily Coronavirus update, we scan global big data using My Telescope’s algorithms to detect where interest and worry about Coronavirus symptoms are growing. This indicates risk-countries where new infections are more likely to occur. 

There are multiple parts going into this specific dataset; official numbers on new detections, current patients, search behaviour related to the Coronavirus, key demographics and much more, all to get as close to the reality and objectivity as possible.

We look at the speed of increase of new cases and predict where we will see the most rapid development, geographically speaking. So one thing to clarify is that we're not looking at current state of affairs nor where are the highest absolute numbers. That's already covered by the news outlets.
